Announcing a pilot for Windows Server support

[REM1]

NI is considering support for software and hardware on the Microsoft Windows Server OS. To help evaluate the priority of adding Windows Server support, NI is coordinating a brief pilot program to get feedback from users. If you are interested in running your applications based on NI software and hardware on Windows Server, you are invited to register for participation in the NI Windows Server pilot.

You can register by visiting http://www.ni.com/beta and selecting "National Instruments Support for Windows Server" from the list of beta programs. Please complete the profile questions that will help us understand your experience and use cases for using Windows Server. Please make sure you agree to the terms and conditions of the program so that you can be approved.

As part of this pilot program, you will have access to a a private discussion forum set up for users to discuss support for LabVIEW and NI drivers on Windows Server. Note: NI is not releasing new versions of software and drivers for this pilot. Instead, we ask that you install and test the latest releases of NI software (e.g. LabVIEW 2009 and compatible modules, toolkits and drivers) on Windows Server, and provide feedback on any issues you find.
